How to get from Palma Airport to the City Centre

Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) is located around 9 km away from Palma.

There are three different travel options when getting from Palma Airport to the city centre of Palma; you can either take a taxi, private transfer, or bus. Taking a Palma Airport taxi or transfer is the most convenient option, providing door-to-door services in the comfort of a private air-conditioned ride. You’ll reach Palma city centre in just 15 minutes. The other less expensive yet slower option available to you is the bus. The A1 bus is reliable and direct but it takes around 30 minutes to get to Palma. That said, it may be the preferable solution if you’re on a budget.

Please note that during rush hour there will most likely be a queue at the airport taxi rank. If you wish to avoid this, you can always book a private transfer service in advance (more on that in the next section).

Useful Tips

Ensure that your driver resets the taximeter before your ride begins.

Mallorca taxis can accommodate up to 4 people comfortably and 3 pieces of luggage.
